THE NEED

A Worldwide Crisis

Infectious diseases, the world's biggest killer of children under five and working age adults-many of whom are
breadwinners and parents- account for half the deaths in developing countries. Many of these killers - e.g TB, malaria,
pneumonia, HIV-related opportunistic infections- are treatable with generic drugs and preventable with simple healthcare comodities,
all available at relatively low costs by developed countries' standards.

The African Problem

Yet even these inexpensive medicines and supplies are beyond the reach of 320 million Africans. The population in many
sub-Saharan African countries-crippled by poverty, racked by war, and ravaged by AIDS-earns less than $1 a day. Christian
missions and charity hospitals- which constitute half the regions meager healthcare infrastructure-are the only source of medical treatment
for many Africans. Having few African sources of high quality, affordable medicines, missions and hospitals must often resort
to pre-paying for bulk quantities of generic medicines purchased from India and Europe, which may spend months in transit
exposed to temperature extremes, becoming ineffective or even unsafe.
